The Green boys are natives OF this county, and

Atlenta's Social Disturbance.

1t is to be regretted that statements are
finding their way into the public prints tina t
some of the prominent people at Atlanta
were not shown the consideration to which
they were entitled during the visit of the
President and Mrs. Cleveland to that city
The sufferings which thousands of visitors
endured for want of something to eat, a
place to sleep, an umbrella to keep off the
rain and rubber boots with which to wade
through the mud are nothing to the heart
burnings and jealousies endured by those
who ought to have had place on the front
seat, but who were not honored with any
seat at all
1t is said that when the announcement
was made that the President and his lovely
wife were going to pay the town visit a
social club of standing was accorded the
privilege of managing the reception. Ac-
cording to reports, it did manage it to the
entire satisfaction of its members, who ac-
commodated their friends and left out the
Mayor of the city and other municipal Off
Gals; and some of the visiting Governors
and other prominent persons from other
States had to get what satisfaction they
could out of the Presidents visit
by standing in the rain with the multitude
and looking at the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land as they passed in their carriage, or by
watching them as they entered the houses
where receptions were held or dinners given
Those who were entitled to places of
honor, however, and got left should console
themselves with the reflection that Atlanta
is one of those towns where the chances of
getting what you want are greatly increased

A Powerful Remedy.

From HGrper'S Magazine for November
In the village of O., in Central New York
lives a sbarp-tongued old bachelor whom have
known for twenty-five years as Uncle John "
Uncle John is something of character about
town and not destitute of Yankee wit and
shrewdness. He used to make and vend in an
amateurish way certain cough mixture the
merits of which be preached to his friends with
great enthusiasm, warranting the remedy to
cure any cold in twenty four hours ''or no pay ~
One of his old friends, whom we will call Ike
being afflicted with a severe coughing cold
Uncle John used his best efforts in argument
persuasion and finally vehement and profane
scolding to get him to try the remedy. But Ike
could not be induced to chance
it, Not long after this Uncle John
caught hard cold himself, which was accom-
panied by most distressing cough that shook
his poor old frame numerically. 1t did not
however, prevent his coming downtown and
''settin, :" as he called it, in Ike's market The
cold hung on for a week or more, and the cough
had grown no better. Finally one day Ike re-
solved to brave Uncle Johns sharp tongue, and
tease him little about his failure to rid himself
of the cold, and the following dialogue ensued
You are to understand that Uncle Johns replies
were interrupted with violent coughing:

The Adventures of a Watch.
From, the Washington Sta


A curious story about watch has Just devel-
George Etheridge, who lived in the upper part
watch, for which he paid Sl65. He took it
home, and his father told him that, inasmuch
as be had invested so much in watch it would
be good idea to take down the makers name
and number, which he did, without ever think
ing that that little precaution would ever avail
anything. He kept it until 1876, when a laborer
on his place took advantage of his absence one
day, broke into his house, and stole the watch
and chain, and skipped out. The thief went
down into Dale county, and i'll short time got
into trouble In order to evade the clutches of
the law, he laid out in piece Of woods and
while there he lost his stolen prize. and in a
short time left for the West. In 1882 while Mr.
Metcalf, who lives near Daleville, was shrub
bling piece of second years land, he found the
watch and related the circumstances to several
of his neighbors, but could find no owner for the
property. The watch had been lying in the
woods six years, and was in a bad fix. Metcalf
carried it to a jeweler in Eufaula and had il re
paired, and took it home with him and kept it
until last Saturday. In the early part of the
week Mr.. A. Haley. of this city, who is brother
in-law of Mr.. Etherdge, heard something that
induced him to wire Mr.. Etherdge, at Ever
green, to come over; that he thought he could
put him the track of his lost watch Mr.
Etherdge arrived in the city and went to Mr.
Metcalf's; described the watch, gave the num-
Der and the makers name, paid Metcalf what
he had paid out for repairs, received his prop
erty, and returned highly elated over his success
in recovering his lost iewelry.

Where Dickens Got His Genius.

Letter to the Editor of the London Daily News
In your issue of Tuesday last you refer to a
statement in an Indian paper regarding the
grandmother of Charles Dickens As there are
some inaccuracies in the story quoted by you,
especially SO far as it refers to the first Lady
Houghton, you may possibly allow me to send
you the correct version as heard it many years
ago from Lady Houghton herself Old Mrs.
Dickens was not nurse, but housekeeper, &c
Crewe in the time of the first Lord Crewe, the
grandfather of the present holder of the title,
and of his sister, the first Lady Houghton
well remember Lady Houghton speaking to
me with enthusiasm of Mrs Dickens wonder
full powers as story teller. II was her de-
light as a child to listen to the tales which the
old lady was able to relate with so much dra-
matte force and feeling; and it was with the
greatest interest that, later on in life Lady
Houghton recognized In the ilustrious author of
David Copperfleldn the grandson Of the
tavoTite of her childhood. Old Mrs. Dickens
had one grievance which Lady Honghton still
recalled when she told me about her. It was
the conduct of her son John, Charles father,
against whose idleneSs and general incapacity
she was never tired of inveighing. There have
been many conjectures as to the source from
which Dickens derived his wonderful gift as
story teller but l believe that, until the pub
LEGATION of the article to which you refer, moth
ing has ever been printed regarding his grand
mother. 1t is hardly far-fetched fancy TO sup
pose that he inherited his special gift from the
old hOuSekeeper at Crewe.

New York City Politics.

Col. j. r. Fellows, who was nominated
for District Attorney by the Democrats Of
New York city day or two ago, isn't going
to have as easy time in getting elected as
some of the other candidates on the ticket
with him. Just about half of the news
papers of the city are opposed TO him, and
those against him evidently intend to defeat
him if they can.
1t is important that the District Attorney
of New York shall not only be a man of
very high character and spotless integrity,
but he must be good lawyer and very firm
in whatever position he takes with regard
to any matter pertaining to his Office.
Col Fellows is man who has almost a
national reputation. He is an orator who
has attracted a great deal of attention in
county, State and national conventions. 1t
has never been said that he is a great
lawyer In fact, it is doubtful if he isn't
too much Of a talker to be a first-cass
lawyer.
The ambition Of his life is to be District
Attorney of New York, and at last he
thinks he sees a chance to have 1t gratified.
1t is generally admitted by those who know
him best that he is almost invaluable as a
subordinate in the District Attorneys office.
He does most of the talking for the State to
the juries, and he does it remarkably well.
There are many who believe, however, that
he is totally unfit to be at the head of great
office
There is another thing which renders him
Objectionable to many. 1t is that he doesn't
pay his debts. A man is excused for not
paying his debts when, by the closest econ
omy he cannot more than meet his neces-
sary expenses, but it is doubtful if there is
any satisfactory way of explaining failure
to pay debts where there is no at
tempt at economy. The papers opposed to
Col. Fellows published on Sunday a long
list OF the judgments for comparatively
small amounts pending against him, and it
makes rather damaging showing. The
question which is asked, and which the
Coloners friends cannot answer is this: Is a
man who is extremely careless about money
matters likely to administer a great Office
honestlys
Col. Fellows is "a years of age, South
erner, and has had experience enough in the
District Attorneys Office to manage the
Office satisfactorily. A man who is not
strictly correct with regard to his private
affairs, however, is quite liable to get into
trouble when he is placed in a position
which requires the highest kind of integ-
rity.
The New York press does not appear to
be guided so much by desire to promote
the public welfare as to get on the popular
side. The competition between the leading
papers is SO great that each one is trying to
injure the others, and to secure success at
any cost 1t is doubtful if the people pay
of any of them when they deal with politi-
cal matters

A Question.

From the Overland for October
All, whittier go the souls that are called lost
Is it TO some dim land
Round which huge waves, in storm-vexed fury
tossed,
Roar madly up the sand?
Are there no blooms nor grass to make it fair?
No birds to waken songs
Do they walk sadly. with disheveled hair
The cold bleak hills along?
Is there no hand-clasp given, no word of love,
No smile, nor look that cheers?
Silent and lonely do these lost souls move
Through multitudinous years.
And do they hear of the refulgent days
That in this life they knew?
OF brooks that murmur on through fragrant
ways,
And skies of lmpid blue;
OF the glad roses blooming in some June
Made sacred by kiss
When all the world with beauty was a-tune-
All. do they dream of thisy
And then to see the gray clouds gather round
This drear, waste land, the rain
Falling forever falling with sad sound,
The storm-wind's weird refrain
To have the memories of sunny hours
Like vague dreams throng the mind,
Bringing from days remote the thought of
flowers
They never more may find
To feel the wind made by an angels wing
That passes by unseen
And hear the echoes of sweet words that ring
Their home and heaven between
Is this their fate? 0 vast and sombre sea.
No mortal yet has crossed,
Rise IN wild wrath that there may no more be
Souls that are known as lost

little attention. He isn't an atheist, but he
evidently doesn't believe much in certain
portions of the Old Testament. He

Attack the Mystery.

The fire which occurred on the steamship
Sylvia on Sunday night appears to be
clouded in more mystery than those on the
Resolute and Naples, for the reason that
there was some GROUND for thinking that
the fire in those two vessels was caused by
sparks from tugs or steamers. The cause
of the fire on the Sylvia, however, could
hardly have originated in that way The
cotton was not loaded from lighters, and
hence, had not been exposed to sparks. 1t
was loaded directly from the press
If matches had not been found under the
band of a bale of compressed cotton a
week or so ago, that was ready to be put on
shipboard it is probable that, from any
thing now known, there would not be any
thought that the fire was the work of an
incendiary; but the finding of the matches,
and the fact that the Sylvias cotton was not
exposed to sparks of steam vessels, suggests
the probability that no one of the fires that
has occurred here this season was acct
dental
1t would not be unwise, at least, to act on
the theory that they were not the result of
accident. The city, the insurance COM
panies and the cotton men represented by
the Cotton Exchange are deeply interested
in having the fires checked at once Indeed,
that they should be checked is matter of
the graveSt Importance. If they are the
work of an incendiary the only
way to check them is to hunt
down the guilty party, or parties
How is that to be done9 Certainly not by
waiting for some clew to be disclosed.
There is only one way to reach the truth of
the matter, and it should be adopted at
once Let shrewd, thoroughly reliable
detective be put to work on the case. He
shonld be a stranger here, and one of the
